What is Anxiety?

Severe anxiety describes state of apprehension, uncertainty, and fear resulting from the anticipation of a realistic or fantasized threatening event or situation, often impairing physical and psychological functioning. Categories range from generalized anxiety, social phobia, agoraphobia (with or without panic attacks) and post-traumatic conditions.
Agoraphobia, taken from the Greek word that translates as "fear of open spaces," is used today by psychologists to mean the fear of having fearful feelings which sometimes leads to avoidance of certain situations or activities. Some possible symptoms include:

Difficulty Breathing

Heart Palpitations

Chest Pain or Discomfort

Choking or Smothering Sensations

Dizziness

Unsteady Feelings

Numbness

Hot/Cold Flashes

Sweating

Fatigue or Fainting

Trembling and Nervousness

Social Phobias

"Racing" Thoughts

Feelings of Unreality

You may have suffered for years from severe anxiety or panic attacks. You may experience generalized anxiety or have social phobias. Whatever your individual situation, you now have a way to break free from the prison of your fears, and live free.
*Note: CHAANGE is not intended to be a substitute for professional therapy, but is designed as a tool to aid in helping individuals obtain relief from anxiety conditions.

Case Study

A professional research study examined the effectiveness of the CHAANGE program. Two groups were used. One was a group of CHAANGE participants who had completed the program in the past 18 months to 1 year. The second group was made up of people just beginning the CHAANGE program. People who completed the CHAANGE program:

Felt less anxious

Were less depressed

Were less fearful of many situations

Were less angry

Had better coping skills

Had increased confidence in their ability to solve personal problems

Were more at ease in social situations

Felt more energetic

A second part of the study examined medical costs before and after CHAANGE treatment. Results showed that CHAANGE participants had cost savings from 26% to 62% in the year following treatment compared to the year before treatment. CHAANGE works! And it can work for you.
